  • The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922
    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • Healing and Making Peace—In the World and in The
    Healing and Making Peace—In the World and the Church By Eugene England This essay examines the ways that feelings of being unjustly treated can lead us into terribly destructive cycles of revenge, and England then uses scripture and stories from history and Shakespeare to suggest that the only way to heal such rifts is through proactively following Christ’s gospel and its emphasis on offering genuine mercy . Originally published : Sunstone 15, no. 6 (December 1991): 36–46. N THE FALL of 1955, Charlotte and I were living in Mapusaga, a small village I in American Samoa. We had been married two years and had been missionaries to the Polynesians for a year and a half. Charlotte was five months pregnant. We were teaching a woman named Taligu E’e, who had Mormon relatives and who had agreed to meet us each Wednesday afternoon. We would walk to her fale , her circu - lar, open, thatch-roofed home, and teach her in broken Samoan one of the lessons from the systematic missionary teaching guide. She would listen politely and impassively, her eyes looking down at the mats we sat on, and after we finished would serve us the meal she had prepared. One Wednesday we taught her the plan of salvation. We told her how we had all chosen to come to earth, with Christ, who had offered himself as our Savior, and how important it was to follow him if we knew him. Then I told her how, by doing temple work, we could help those who had died without knowing Christ, but who were being taught about him in the spirit world.

    Becoming a World Religion: Blacks, the Poor—All of Us By Eugene England This essay, originally given as a talk at the 1998 Sunstone West Symposium held in Los Angeles, California, illustrates the ways that Mormons continue to be both racist and classist, and argues that for people to learn to accept the unconditional love God has for us as manifest through the Atonement, we must truly become, like God, “no respecter of persons.” Originally published : Sunstone 21, no. 2 (June-July 1998): 49–60. ROM THE VERY earliest days in the 1830s, of what they called “the Restora - F tion,” the leaders of a tiny American sect known as Mormonism, though reviled and persecuted and driven, have constantly repeated the astounding claim that their church would not only succeed but would grow into a world religion—in fact, the world religion. In 1831, the Lord announced through Joseph Smith that “the keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone that is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth” (D&C 65:2). Since then, we Latter-day Saints have thought ourselves to be the chosen ones to fulfill that prophecy made first in Daniel’s interpretation of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. He saw, you remember, a great composite figure representing the kingdoms of the world, from the head of gold to feet and toes of clay, that was smitten by a stone which then “became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth” (Dan.

  • Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects by Eugene England
    Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects By Eugene England This essay is the culmination of several attempts England made throughout his life to assess the state of Mormon literature and letters. The version below, a slightly revised and updated version of the one that appeared in David J. Whittaker, ed., Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995), 455–505, is the one that appeared in the tribute issue Irreantum published following England’s death. Originally published in: Irreantum 3, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 67–93. This, the single most comprehensive essay on the history and theory of Mormon literature, first appeared in 1982 and has been republished and expanded several times in keeping up with developments in Mormon letters and Eugene England’s own thinking. Anyone seriously interested in LDS literature could not do better than to use this visionary and bibliographic essay as their curriculum. 1 ExpEctations MorMonisM hAs bEEn called a “new religious tradition,” in some respects as different from traditional Christianity as the religion of Jesus was from traditional Judaism. 2 its beginnings in appearances by God, Jesus Christ, and ancient prophets to Joseph smith and in the recovery of lost scriptures and the revelation of new ones; its dramatic history of persecution, a literal exodus to a promised land, and the build - ing of an impressive “empire” in the Great basin desert—all this has combined to make Mormons in some ways an ethnic people as well as a religious community. Mormon faith is grounded in literal theophanies, concrete historical experience, and tangible artifacts (including the book of Mormon, the irrigated fields of the Wasatch Front, and the great stone pioneer temples of Utah) in certain ways that make Mormons more like ancient Jews and early Christians and Muslims than, say, baptists or Lutherans.

    Desk in the room of the restored John Johnson home, Hiram, Ohio, in which “The Vision,” now known as Doctrine and Covenants 76, was received con- currently by Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon. Courtesy John W. Welch. Seventy-six Accounts of Joseph Smith’s Visionary Experiences Alexander L. Baugh oseph Smith the seer ushered in the dispensation of the fullness of Jtimes. His role was known and prophesied of anciently. The Lord promised Joseph of Egypt that in the last days a “choice seer” would come through his lineage and would bring his seed to a knowledge of the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (2 Ne. 3:7; jst Gen. 50:27–28). “That seer will the Lord bless,” Joseph prophesied, specifi- cally indicating that “his name shall be called after me” (2 Ne. 3:14–15; see also jst Gen. 50:33). Significantly, in the revelation received dur- ing the organizational meeting of the Church on April 6, 1830, the first title given to the first elder was that of seer: “Behold, there shall be a record kept . and in it thou [Joseph Smith] shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ” (D&C 21:1). In the Book of Mormon, Ammon defined a seer as one who pos- sessed “a gift from God” to translate ancient records (Mosiah 8:13; see also 28:11–16). However, the seeric gift is not limited to translation, hence Ammon’s additional statement that “a seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have” (Mosiah 8:16).
